Problems with my new flat port

Hi again,

I finally got my new Ikelite D70 housing today (it was a long wait...), along with the #5508.05 flat port for my 105mm lens. I managed to place the gear sleeve on the lens, and managed to switch from M to AF using the focus control on the housing. But, when I put the flat port in place, it seems like it's quizzing on the gear sleeve, making it impossible to use the sleeve. Just to be sure it's not a misplaced o-ring issue i placed the port on the housing with no o-ring on, and i'm still unable to use the sleeve.

Can anyone advise ? I'm planning a short dive trip on the weekend (friday) and i want to get it working before the trip

Thanks,

Oren

We are lost on this because of the number sold without complaints. Does the sleeve turn freely when dropped into the port when port is not installed on housing? You can e-mail me <ike@ikelite.com> if convenient.............
